Rare Danger

I've read a few of this author's historical romances, and enjoyed them all, but this was my first time trying one of her contemporaries. It's a very good read. It's romantic suspense. Both main characters are easy to like, and the romance is paced so well. There's an instant attraction which turns into a believable connection and a lot of sexual tension. Torr falls for Jasmine quickly, but that fits with what we see of his character and past experiences.

I like that both main characters are a little older than most romance leads; I don't think their ages are specified, but they seem to be over 40. Jasmine's profession sounds pretty great: she runs a business as a private librarian, fulfilling book- and library-related requests for wealthy clients.

The crime plot is a little strange, and not the kind of thing I usually read. But I like this author's writing style and I just went with it.

Apart from the MCs, Loretta was my fave of the rest of the cast, and I was very happy with the resolution of her story. I also always enjoy how Beverly Jenkins writes friendships between women, and Jasmine and Terri's moments together are lovely. I'd read more books set in this world; I'd love to read a romance about Terri someday!
